  • He had a self published book calling for the assassination over trump’s political acts as president and out of fear what a second term would mean. There’s no party rhetoric there.

    Ryan Routh, the man arrested in connection with an apparent attempt to shoot Donald Trump on Sunday, urged in a self-published book the assassination of Trump over the former president’s decision to withdraw from a diplomatic agreement restricting Tehran’s nuclear program.

    The 2023 book, a rambling diary of Routh’s attempts to join Ukraine’s fight against Russia and his political views, describes his growing disillusionment with Trump as well his anger at the 2021 U.S. exit from Afghanistan and other foreign-policy decisions he describes as blunders.

    “I must take part of the blame for the removed child that we elected for our next president that ended up being brainless, but I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake and Iran I apologize,” Routh wrote, criticizing Trump for leaving the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, in 2018.

    “You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal,” he said in a passage apparently directed at Iran’s government. “No one here in the US seems to have the balls to put natural selection to work or even unnatural selection.”
